When we realized there was a huge demand the opportunity arose to build areca farms. The government had to come up with a plan to increase the use of areca nut through the Regional Inflation Control Team (TPID). Not only agriculture but the potential of developing fisheries and tourism in Boloke should attract the attention of the government.
West Papuas extraordinary natural resources must be exploited as much as possible. The tourism potential in West Papua is huge. Kaimana Regency has Triton Bay and Pink Beach Gunung Alfak Province has Angijiji Lake and Manuwari Selatan Province has Bald Mountain. We can promote religious tourism and nature tourism in South Manoa Island in Teluk Dorri Manowari State. According to Rumi the regional government of West Papua should coordinate all stakeholders from government agencies to community members to improve the existing tourism resources. Capacity. Business intelligence is ready for cooperation and collaboration.
